Taken from his debut EP ‘The Beautiful’, the extremely talented Tyler Batts creates an impressive sound topped off beautifully with the powerful anthemic vocals on the chorus of this single ‘To The Very End’.

Lyrics:I was not made to live without You JesusMy heart will never findA love that frees like Yours doesYou sealed me with Your GhostNow there’s no more lonelinessYour love has made it’s choiceAnd I am whole because of it

There’s so much freedom and lifeIn Your presenceIt’s where I come aliveIn Your presence

You hold my heart inside Your strong handsYou’ve loved me in and outIt’s more than I can standI can never find the wordsBig enough to expressWith You there’s always moreForever endless

Your Spirit’s bringing us togetherYour love’s infused in me foreverYou fill me up with so much pleasureAnd now I can’t keep my heart from lovin’I can’t keep my heart from lovin’ YouYeah

And now I can’t keep my heart from lovin’I can’t keep my heart from lovin’ You

Pacific Gold are back with their ‘repurposed hymns’ after crowd funding their project through the website KickStarter, as well as their new name (they were FKA Wayfarer) they also return with a beautifully refined, and well rounded sound that helps makes their hymns so distinct.

DevastationOh, this house been laid lowEvery window been cracked, and I’ve triedBut I just can’t keep out the coldDesperationOh, this soul been laid lowAll of these changes that I can’t affordThat I can’t ignore

It’s not over nowLift your eyes to the dawnOh, it’s comin’ on

A light has comeTo this house that crumbled to the groundAnd the morning showsThere’s still hope

Sweet consolationBringin’ that comfort to my soulLet this heart be unbroken in waysThat I’ve never known, oh, but now I can know

It’s not over nowLift your eyes to the dawnIt’s comin’ onOh, a light has comeTo this house that crumbled to the groundAnd the morning showsThere’s still hope

All of these bones, so tired and wornAll of my memories are burned out and tornBut that light kept comin’ onAnd all of my memories are of beauty nowThe beauty of light, pourin’ into every room of this houseShinin’ all that darkness out

Oh, a light has comeTo this house that crumbled to the groundAnd the morning showsOh, it showsA light has comeTo this house that crumbled to the groundAnd the morning showsThere’s still hope

Lyrics:Every day at dusk I chase the sunset, sunset Looking for a glimpse of Heaven’s skies I’ve been given a taste for something That nothing in this world can satisfy But I know that a time is coming When I will be in glorious delight

I know I will run through Heaven’s brilliant streets of gold Shouting “Hallelujah, Christ alone!” I know I will dance and sing and bow before the throne This I know! Oh oh!

Every day at dawn I chase the sunrise, sunrise Looking for a hint of Heaven’s light I’ve been given a taste for something That nothing in this world can satisfy But I know that a time is coming When I will be in glorious delight

I know I will run through Heaven’s brilliant streets of gold Shouting “Hallelujah, Christ alone!” I know I will dance and sing and bow before the throne This I know! Oh oh!

It’s been a busy year! Our audience has increased hugely – the YouTube channel now has over 12,000 Subscribers and total video views currently stands at 1.5 million! Amongst the growth though with some help from friends and family I’ve been in touch with more artists to bring you another free summer mixtape and here it is.

It’s not as long as last years, at just 11 tracks but I’d rather deliver a shorter mixtape of top quality music than fill it with anything I could get permission for!

Like last years mixtape I hope you are introduced to new artists through this compilation. I’ve come to know some of these artists really well whilst putting this together and by speaking to them throughout the year and I can honestly say there are some great people featured on this album who truly worship Christ with everything that they have to give. So, check out the poster that’s included and get in touch with the artists’ through Facebook and Twitter etc. and tell them how much you appreciate their music, knowing these guys most of them will probably even find the time to reply to you! (Then go download the rest of their work!)

Be encouraged by their music, share it with friends not just because you secretly hope they’ll become Christians through it but because it’s simply a collection of great music! Enjoy the diverse mix of genres, the different ways that people praise God and the different stories people have to tell.

My prayer this year is for this mixtape to spread further than before, to reach Christians throughout the world who need encouraging, Christians who wish there was great music for a great God, Christians who need a new song to sing and soundtrack to dance to.

A huge thanks to all the artists involved, for supporting the blog and the work I do and wanting to be part of this small but influential mixtape.

And finally thanks to you the listener for the continued support to both the blog and the artists we feature, whether it’s simply by liking a link on Facebook, sharing the blog with friends or donating money so that we can give more copies of the mixtape away. Thank you for making this possible.
